It's your choice to enjoy the forum as a basic member, mining the website and its members for information to help improve your audio experience. No one is discouraging you from doing that, but I can tell you one thing. If you think being rude to a member who made an effort to help you, then simply encouraged you to become a Subscriber, which by the way would save you a boat load of money when purchasing tubes from our Marketplace tube vendor, you may find that attitude influencing other members who might be less likely to offer you guidance or advice when you most need it. None of us here are obliged to answer a single question you may post unless we choose to do so. Something to think about.

+1. The folks on this forum are truly a great group that help people out as much as possible. My system would be no where near what it is without the input from the people here. I've bought gear from people here with 100% satisfaction (and plan more), but that is secondary to the comradeship and sharing that have benefitted everyone.
